This time last year, as training camp approached, the Jets were embroiled in a number of ugly incidents, ripe with drug violations and other legal headaches.

As a result, six players entered the preseason with suspensions – or the possibility of suspensions – hanging over their heads.

Now, the Jets have just one player in jeopardy of league discipline: tight end Chris Herndon.

That has to be a huge sigh of relief for new general manager Joe Douglas, who already has more than enough on his plate trying to learn, tweak and improve the Jets’ roster. Dealing with supplemental discipline would have been an unnecessary nightmare and is one he’s no doubt hoping his players help him avoid as this offseason continues to unfold.

Herndon, as a reminder, pleaded guilty to DWI this past January. He has yet to receive his punishment from the league office, but precedent says that he’ll likely receive a suspension in the neighborhood of two games.

Obviously, that’s a blow for the Jets; Herndon is their top tight end and has blossomed into a valuable target for quarterback Sam Darnold.

But there’s little doubt that the team’s current disciplinary situation pales in comparison to last year’s.

Here’s a quick refresher on the debacle that the Jets’ old regime had on its hands during the 2018 preseason:

WR Robby Anderson: Anderson was arrested in May 2017 for allegedly pushing a cop at a Miami music festival, but that case was dropped. He was arrested again in January after allegedly fleeing from a police officer at 105 mph and then, after being arrested, threatening to sexually assault the officer’s wife. A potential suspension remained in play, with Anderson’s case still being reviewed by the league.

TE Chris Herndon: Herndon was arrested for DUI in June after a crash in Rockaway Township. Herndon flipped his car on Interstate 80 in the accident. Video of the incident – including his failed sobriety test – later surfaced.

The legal case hung over Herndon’s head throughout the 2018 season.

LB Kevin Pierre-Louis: Pierre-Louis was arrested for marijuana possession in January, prior to the Jets signing him in free agency. Pierre-Louis was hit with a one-game suspension by the NFL during training camp.

CB Rashard Robinson: Robinson was arrested in December for possession of a marijuana-laced candy after being pulled over for driving carelessly in Hanover Township. He was suspended four games without pay by the NFL during training camp. He was eligible to participate in training camp and preseason games, but could be placed on the active 53-man roster until after the Jets’ Sept. 30 game against the Jaguars.

In his few public remarks since being hired, Douglas has said he’ll place a huge emphasis on character and culture when making decisions on players. For the most part, the driving force behind that is building locker-room chemistry.

But there’s little doubt that avoiding these kinds of headaches is on Douglas’ mind when he searches for those players, too. If he has his way, these types of disciplinary issues will be left in the Jets’ past.

At least, for his sake, he’s starting with a relatively clean slate in that regard already.
